When God arrives,
\nAll smile-festivity;
\nThe joy and dance of
\nThe finite and Eternity.<\/p>\n
Commentary by<\/strong><\/p>\n Vasanti<\/p>\n What strikes me with this poem (again from a Christian background Like being “face to face with God” (yesterday’s prayer) experiencing ***<\/p>\n 32. God Arrives<\/p>\n God arrives – Sri Chinmoy, from The Oneness-Heart-University<\/a>\n<\/p>\n \nMay 13 – Sri Chinmoy, from My Morning Begins<\/a>\n<\/p>\n 11959.
\nwhere “dear God” is often regarded with fear instead of experienced
\nwith sweetest loving intimacy) is the fact that here God is
\nassociated only with something positive – with joy and smiles and
\nfestivity. Sri Chinmoy<\/a> often defines God as “Love” – all-
\nencompassing, all-forgiving, all-compassionate Love. When we really
\nexperience God, all negativities are simply dissolved, like mist in
\nthe sun, in a celebration of the Divine Lila where earth, the finite
\nand temporal, and Heaven, the Infinite and Eternal, embrace each
\nother and merge into each other.<\/p>\n
\nGod’s arrival, to me, refers to an inner experience, an experience of
\nthe heart and soul, which basically can happen at any second, under
\nany circumstances, but mostly during moments of prayer and meditation
\nor as a result thereof. Of course, a seeker who is fortunate to be
\nblessed with a living spiritual teacher may have an intense inner
\nexperience of bliss and delight when he or she is in the physical
\npresence of the master.<\/p>\n
\nBecause of
\nMy purity-heart.
\nGod departs
\nBecause of
\nMy haughty mind.<\/p>\n
\n
\nMy morning begins
\nAnd God arrives
\nTo uproot from my mind-jungle
\nGod-fulfilment-uncertainty-tree.<\/p>\n
\n
\nMy Lord arrives,
\nMy gratitude-heart-tears
\nSmile.<\/p>\n
